App fails Typecheck when rn-range-slider installed

[charneykaye]

I'm using rn-range-slider 2.2.2 with react-native 0.68.3

Here's my tsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "lib": ["es2017"],
    "baseUrl": "./src",
    "allowJs": true,
    "jsx": "react-native",
    "noEmit": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "strict": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true
  }
}

Typecheck fails as follows. My attempts to ask Typecheck to ignore this library have yet to be successful.

NOTE: Adding "skipLibCheck": true, has nothing to do with this. Contrary to numerous sources, this is for ignoring *.d.ts files and you will see my errors are from .tsx files.

NOTE ALSO: adding exclude: [ "node_modules" ] also has no effect. Under normal circumstances, and contrary to numerous sources, this is an unnecessary redundancy.

There is no mystery here. The typings are wrong within this library, that's it. If I get the time I'll submit a pull request to fix this, I like having 0 type errors / warnings in my projects.

Is there al fix already for this? 👀

EDIT:
I've managed to pass the tsc checks doing the following:

const RangeSlider = require('rn-range-slider').default;

I fixed this by creating custom config and types file. See code below.

package.json:

"typecheck": "tsc --project tsconfig.typecheck.json",

tsconfig.typecheck.json:

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "noEmit": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
        "rn-range-slider": ["src/types/rn-range-slider"] // this is important
    }
  },
  "include": ["src/**/*.ts", "src/**/*.tsx"],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules/**/*", // this is important
  ]
} 

src/types/rn-range-slider.ts:

declare module 'rn-range-slider' {
    const RangeSlider: any;
    export default RangeSlider;
    export type SliderProps = any;
}

What a pain in the ass 😢
